The use of a Prop in Harry Potter

The use of the prop in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the sword, the sward is made significant in the extract by it's use, the way Harry uses the sword the defeat the Basilisk. It's also made look significant because the sword just suddenly appears in the bag that Dumbledore gave Harry, the sword was given to Harry  by Dumbledore to help him out in trouble. The fact that the sword was given by Dumbledore makes it look like a really important object in the film because Dumbledore has a good reason for everything he does. The narrative in the extract also makes it look significant because the way Harry was talking about the sword and how Tom Riddle reacts when the sword appears, they both know that specific object will help Harry defeat the Basilisk.

It's made look significant in framing because when the sward appears in the bag, the camera focuses on the bag and sword and it just suddenly appears, and while the sword is appearing the camera is aggressively focusing on to the sword, it makes the audience think it's an important object because it's at the centre of attention.

The sword is also made look significant in the scene because that's the object that saved Harry's life and helped Harry defeat the Basilisk, so the audience thinks that the object was the reason Harry survived in the scene, also when Harry kills the Basilisk with the help of the sword the camera is focused on the sword as it stabs the Basilisk in the head.

Horror film, the planing of the film and describing the scene and theme. 

Mise-En-Scene

Mise-En-Scene is used in the theatre and film worlds to describe the design aspects of a production, it's the arrangement of scene and it explains the properties to represent the place where the play or scene was filmed or played. The term is borrowed from a French theatrical expression, meaning roughly “put into the scene”.  In other words, mise-en-scène describes the stuff in the frame and the way it is shown and arranged. 
My extract is "The Suicide Bomber" from the film "The Hurt Locker" 

In the extract I've picked Mise-En-Scene was used really well because the film is about the war in Iraq but it was filmed in Jordan and they managed to turn Jordan into Iraq just by making the buildings and the sourounding look like it's actually Iraq.

They also used really good costumes in it because the soldiers in the film look exactly like American soldiers which makes the whole film really realistic and believable, the citizens in the film look like the citizens of Iraq by the way they dress and look like. 

Make-up was used really well in the extract because they managed to get some scars on the soldiers and also on the suicide bomber, and it made the whole scene realistic. 

The way they used the camera how they focused in and out on the suicide bomber and when the soldier said they can't help him the camera suddenly got away from the bomber just like the soldiers so it made the audience feel like they're part of the scene. 

Sound Of Cinema

The sounds in films are really important because they are  giving the audience an idea of image about the structure of the film and gives them a sound experience, it also gives them a visual effect which makes the audience feel like the film is more fluid. 

George Lucas for Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977 used continues music in the film which forms and shapes the vision for the audience and it makes the film more continual and gives it a continues flow. Just like George Lucas used symphonic and romantic music in some themes to give the audience a better idea about what's going on.

 

The music in the film makes the audience feel like they are in a boat on a river and the river is the music and it takes the listener on a trip to the world of the film. 

Music and sounds in films form the visual effect and makes it more affective. 

Making of our 5 shot short film, Christoph & Rahim

In our group we had to make a short film about "Saving the World in 5 Minutes" this was our very first project.
During the recording of our short film we learned how to use the camera, planning the scenarios, and performing the character which we had to play for.
Our film was about the Earth's crust crumbling and there is not much time lift until the apocalypse and the end of the world. In the film we used a lot of improvising which I personally think was great because we could bring more of our performing skills into the filming.

We made some mistakes in the film but that was because that was our first time trying to make a film, we learned a lot about making of films today and I think we got used to using the camera correctly which means we learned to start and pause the recording the film at the right time.

We could improve the film by having more time to shoot the sequences and having more time to rehears the shots and getting used to where the camera is facing so we are not in the shot when we aren't supposed to, apart from that I think we've done pretty well for ourselves.

My favourite film

My favourite film is The Conjuring which is a horror film made in 2013.

The film is about a family who moves into their new home and they start experiencing paranormal activities, the family first doesn't really notice much of the activities but as days go by things are getting worse and worse. The family first started hearing noises and could smell a weird smell sometimes around the house. Later bruises start appearing on the mother  called Carolyn.
As the days went by things were getting really serious and freaky in the house, pictures and paintings were falling off the walls, the little girls in the family were experiencing "something" in their rooms, one of the girls could see something and was attacked by that demonic spirit.
Carolyn and Roger Perron got really freaked out by the things they went through therefor Carolyn went to find Ed and Lorraine Warren who were paranormal investigators. The film has a really good story line with full of "jumpy" parts in the film.
The film was really well directed by James Wan.
